Hi all...
http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question
I'm using the above mod to enhance security of forums I admin.
however it doesn't seem to be working. Bots are still registering and spam is still appearing as a result.
Any advice?
I'd ask on author's forums but their site is closed atm.
Change the question/answers to something else.

I did... but the thing is, is it not meant to record success / failure rates?
Been about 30-40 accounts registered since putting it on and changing the questions... only 1 recorded answer of a success so far... and that's the only legit account registered too.

RSQ plugin is working absolutely fine. I tried registering and it denied when I input wrong answer, and allows when its corrects.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the stats as there is a bug in the plugin that does not properly count the correct/incorrect in certain conditions.
Have you tried changing your questions? It is possible that you are using a question that the bot has programmed an answer to.
